IPL 2026: DC vs PBKS, Match 35 at Arun Jaitley Stadium - Stats & player battles to watch

Delhi Capitals (DC) are experiencing a very middling IPL 2026 season. The Axar Patel-led side has won three and lost as many games after the end of six matches. They are now going to be up against their biggest challenge in the form of the unbeaten Punjab Kings.

Though it's a home game for Capitals, Punjab have the strongest away record this season. Delhi captain Axar Patel will have to be on his toes in terms of decision-making to knock Punjab down.

Delhi are coming into this game on the back of a 47-run loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and therefore won't be as confident as one should be before a match against a formidable opponent like Punjab.

Meanwhile, Punjab are at the top of the points table with 11 points after six games. They have five wins under their belt already, while their game against KKR didn't yield a result.
